At the Age Well Senior Services' 13th annual Captain's Ball, they partied like it was 1979. The Saturday Night Fever theme welcomed white suits, big hair and other disco attire to a ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point where Night Shift played live dance music.

Guests had dinner and drinks, there were live and silent auctions and special touches such as party favors. Dr. Jay Cohen, executive chairman of Monarch HealthCare, philanthropists Ed and Maggie Chang and the Wells Fargo Foundation, represented by Jack Toan, vice president and community affairs manager for Wells Fargo Community Relations, were honored by the organization, which netted $90,000 for the cause.

Age Well is a leading provider of programs, services and resources for seniors, including meals on wheels.
